Location: South west, 2,5 hours from Windhoek
Area
This area can be seen as a open
savanna and are semi-desert. It lies in the Kalahari
Desert and is 3 hours from Windhoek. The Kalahari is renowned for it
open plains and
red sand dunes with Camel thorn acacia trees here and there,and its
herds of
springbokand Oryx, which we have a lot of in this area. The hunting here is
still done
on foot but
the client is expected to be able to shoot at 150 -250 yards,
because of the open terrain. We normally try and use the dunes as
cover, but still you are caught
between dunes
and then you should be able to shoot lying over the peak of the dune
to animals on the other side.
Game
This is home to the Steenbok,
Springbok,
Blesbok,
Oryx,
Ostrich, and
Duiker. As
you would expect there are really big
Oryx and
Springbok in
the area and a lot to choose from with almost 1000
springbok
and 500 Oryx. You can be sure of getting a
unforgettable hunt. It is a excellent area for a first comer with a
lot to offer.
Accommodations
The accommodation on the area is a permanent east African
style tented camp with
all of the luxuries you would expect from a safari camp. The camp
lies in between the
dunes on the area and gives you the feeling of the old traditional
style safaris.
Activities
As you would know the bird shooting here is some of the
best in Namibia and a client
can easily spend one or two days bird hunting.
The birds that we will be shooting is
mainly sandgrouse and turtle
doves. These are the
best to shoot in the Kalahari.
